Because they do. They have people look at any blog on the net, and they will put plants to disuade bad word getting out on what they are doing if the audience really doesn't like it. Chris Nolan is a member here and looks at the Dark Knight boards. All studios do this. Directors will look sometimes. Trust me they have people here. When they released the possible plan to make a Green Lantern movie with Jack Black, AICN confirmed from their WB sources that they did actively look at all the boards to see what response was and that is what killed that the project. Hell, the review of the first JJ Abrams script on AICN got all over the net and they had WB plants in the baords trying to counter it. The big tale tell sign they say is "come one guys. Lets give (whoever) a chance and see if it works."

Christopher Nolan? I don't know man.

I have been accused of working for WB many times on these boards as well as The Planet. What do you think?

Nolan said that he purposely leaked things out into the public on Batman Begins, and this site was one of the sites they leaked stuff out too. To see the audiences reaction to it. He has said it in an inteview. He leaked things to the web. That is also what Bay did too with Transformers. It seems that people are starting to care what the fans think before they spend a lot of money and make mistakes..

Caring what the fans think? My God, what a strange and unusual concept.

Again, I didn't, and don't, see anything wrong with it. You do not keep your name a secret. It's very easily accessible. So if you make your name public, then I don't see anything wrong with me, or anyone else, using it. But, as I say, whatever, it's up to you. To me, objecting to someone using your name when you make it accessible is what's weird. Anyway ...

I think almost everybody here would disagree with your sentiments, since I do not make it public on these boards. Let's not argue, you'll lose.

I didn't wanna argue in the first place. I apologised the first time you pulled me up on it. I thought that would be an end to it. Can we move on now please? Anyway, to me, providing a link to a page where your name is visible is no different from posting it on these boards. I don't get your logic, but anyway ...

It's called respecting someone's space. People use "User names" when posting....their real names are for the people they specifically want to use it. It is proper and polite to ask permission to use someones real name on a message board before doing it. Using people's personal info without permission is not only a social faux paux....but it is against the rules of the site.
